Change Settings in the Files?

[D.A.R.K.]

So... Server advanced settings are really limited now in-game, but it is possible to go even further if we change the value in the files? Like, stack multiplayer and vendor reset time? I want the vendor to reset every 2 minutes, and I want to be able to stack 10 times the amount of resources on hand and storage containers.

I would imagine you could, they're just JSON files. It also seems like the settings that aren't present in the in-game configuration tool still work.

I found the location of some files, even one showing all the settings, but it seems it's a default one not the one I saved. Do you know where I can find the settings I'm using precisely?

[Terotrous]

Should be here:

C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRising\ServerSettingsPresets

You can find your specific server settings override file by: load game => select server => open directory.
Or C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\Stunlock Studios\VRising\CloudSaves\[number]\v3\[hash value?]\ServerGameSettings.json

Thanks, found it.
To see if the change work, I'm gonna test it with the stack number.
Max stack number you can have in-game is 3 times, I changed to 20.

Edit¹: No, it didn't work, I'm gonna assume it's because of Cloud Saving?
I'm gonna deactivate Cloud Saving and try again.

Edit²: Even with Cloud Save off, it didn't work.

I have two files here, two hashes, since I don't know which one is the server I'm playing, I'm gonna change from both. Gonna do the same test, change the stack size to 20 times. I'll return to edit the comment in case it worked or no.

Edit: It didn't work.

Seems like it's actually enforced in the code a maximum of 3 times stacksize. Some of the other things might not be as bound to the settings available through the GUI. You can up the maximum height of the castle (but there's a ceiling for the whole world that you can't build taller than, which can be just 7 levels to the castle, for example.

6. But yeah, you are right, it's hard coded, even changing on files it won't work. The reason I think it won't work is because the game is online forced, so they can check every time you load your save. Is there a way to force the server to be offline without harming Achievement making? I could try that.

[Khaylain]

What did you mean by "6."? Because the stack size seems locked to 3x.

But no, you can play totally offline on your own server. Don't know how that interacts with Steam achievements.

Can't you just configure these settings by going to the "Load Game" menu, or does that now have the right settings for your server? You can't do this when the server is running, but it should work for personal servers at least.

I mean 6 castle floor, the max is 6 castle floor. But then I re-read what you said, you didn't mean castle floor, but castle level. My bad.

I can, but it's not enough. The max stack size we can have is 3, I rather have 20. The same with a lot of other things they changed in the release, if I'm not wrong, the minimum time we could have with trader restock was 0.05 (1 = 60 min, 0.1 = 6 min, 0.05 = 3 min) but they changed that on release and now the minimum is 0.25 = 15 minutes.

They made a lot of shadow changes like that, removed a lot of features, if I'm not wrong, before release we could go up to 10 stack size or around that, I'm not sure, but 3 times isn't good enough for me, that's why I'm trying to change that in the files, finding a way to increase even further.

By the way, it isn't working on personal server, even with cloud save off, I tried.

Was an server admin mod which had everything to change/play with, but alas BepInEx is not updated, and it's needed. Was really good cos had amazing config options to create even better V Rising custom servers.

I meant that you you can have taller castle by editing the file. I tested it and got 7 levels up from the upper plateau of the northwest most plot in Silverlight. I don't remember exactly how tall I got at a plot in Dunley, but I'm 99% sure that it was more. As I said, there's a global ceiling for the whole map that's at the same height; this means that plots that are lower down by themselves allow you to build taller if you change the HeightLimit in the file itself.

As for more stack size, you can effectively mimic this by changing the refining rates and crafting rates. If you set them to half you're effectively doubling your stack size. I say "effectively" because it isn't actually doubling the stack size, but you get the same effect since you can do twice as much with what fits in a stack.

This doesn't fix my problem with stack size... Actually, it changes nothing. Stack size is the amount of the same thing can be in the same cell... For example, common resources like wood and stone can stack up to 3,000, I want to set that to 30,000 because I don't want to build more and more storage containers to storage what I have.

Refining speed, or crafting speed has nothing to do with it, won't change the fact that I still need more storage to save my stuff.

[Khaylain]

But why do you need more stuff? In general it's to do stuff with it, right? So by changing how much it costs to do those things you don't need as much stuff to begin with. Effectively mimicking a larger stack size.

I wasn't talking about refining speed, but the rates they convert at. I guess it's called "cost" in the settings. Changing how much each recipe costs means you don't need as much stuff to build the things you want. In a default setting server I have just a T3 generic chest for each crafting station for the things they need. So the sawmills gets one, the grinders get one. I don't seem to need more than that.
